Or even some family next to you or someone you know.

Top wallpaper. Nice white ceiling, loads of money, confidence and intelligence. Great taste in film and music. Excellent communication skills. Never gets into trouble. Never lost for words. Has NO prejudice whatsoever, even double standards he understands well and not just obvious examples, never loses their mind.

Can show off. Never complains about life's issues. Has a great car etc.

Even if you shouldn't or whatever, does it personally bother you? NOT talking about crimes or someone being rude or bad or anything like THAT, just someone who is richer and more successful than you are, are you OK with it, cheers.

Tell Putin to get out of Ukraine.

And tell Putin to send you some top wallpaper.

[–] TheMan18 (13188) 3 years ago

Nothing to do with him haha, I live in UK by the way. :)

[–] MonStar (13552) 3 years ago

Send Putin a letter or email in Russian.

Don't forget to tell him to send you some top wallpaper.

Did you honestly think I currently live in Russia? And yet most of my online activities are in English on an English language web site? Lol. :)

[–] [deleted] 3 years ago

that doesn't bother me at all.
i'm very jealous of some people for other reasons, but i'd never be jealous because of someone having more money or nicer stuff. i could give a shit's dick-ass about such matters.

they didn't get that stuff by taking it away from me, or anyone else presumably.

everyone who lives in a modern economy at this time and place is the biggest lottery winner of all time. you should appreciate that instead of being petty because someone has a bit more money than you.

as one of my favourite movie characters said, there's more to life than a little money.

good for them, says i

[–] AndyKing1967 (39867) 3 years ago

Agreed!

[–] Daisy (3024) 3 years ago

Most people have to work for what they have so you shouldn’t be jealous you should just work harder.

[–] Drusilla (565) 3 years ago

I agree Daisy. It's totally obvious what we need to do.

[–] Daisy (3024) 3 years ago

Jealousy gets no one anywhere. Most useless emotion and the worst feeling.

If the person earned their money through honest, hard work, or through wise investing, then I have no problem with it. If the money was earned by stepping on others, elbowing your way to the top, or through any unscrupulous means then it's a whole different story.

I don't tolerate "showing off" or any type of cocky attitude, either.

[–] actionkamen (23176) 3 years ago

Yeah, being rich and having more money is not a problem. What bother me is that rich (I mean billionaires and such) people have more power than regular people. Just because they're rich they can influence the government, the laws, the judiciary, etc.

Not because they're legit politicians or lawmakers or judges. But simply because they have lots of money.

I don't care if their money is used to buy 100 Ferraris or 10 super luxury yatchs or anything. Their money, they can spend it however they like.

But rich people buy the system. That's what they do.

And that's what I don't like about them.

[–] jonathan_k80 (6436) 3 years ago

Yes. They sink tons of money into campaign financing. They stick their noses where they don't belong.

It's ironic that the U.S. is now condemning Russian oligarchs when we have the same thing in this country.

YES...I AM QUITE JEALOUS OF ANDYKING.

[–] TheMan18 (13188) 3 years ago

But not a guy next door Kowalski, right?

[–] AndyKing1967 (39867) 3 years ago

When I read the post I did wonder if he was talking about me, lol.

I’ll let you into a little secret *whispers* we don’t have any wallpaper in our house.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78608) 3 years ago

You need top wallpaper and white ceilings to be all flash Andy

[–] AndyKing1967 (39867) 3 years ago

We do have white ceilings.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78608) 3 years ago

You’re half way to the big time👌

[–] AndyKing1967 (39867) 3 years ago

Yay!

[–] sslssg (35199) 3 years ago

Gold lame wallpaper.

[–] sslssg (35199) 3 years ago

What makes someone happy?

Unless you are Bezos, or Musk, there will always be someone with more money than you. Does that mean that they are happier? I don't know.

Has NO prejudice whatsoever

No one has no prejudice. All that means is not liking something for no reason.

Never complains about life's issues

Is this something you are striving for? Is this what you are jealous of?

I'm perfectly okay with people have more than me, or being smarter than me, or having better things than me. Striving to be the best is pointless because someone will always be better, faster, stronger. Aim for being the best that you can be. You'll be a much happier person.

[–] TheMan18 (13188) 3 years ago

I guess you're right but still...

Life has proved its easier said than done though. :)

[–] sslssg (35199) 3 years ago

All you have to do to live is breathe.

I think that if you have a place to live, and food to eat, you are doing pretty darn good.
